Vehicular Assault & Homicide

All it takes is one poor choice to cause a fatal alcohol-related accident. If you have been arrested for vehicular manslaughter or charged with homicide related to a drunk driving accident, you may just want to put the entire accident behind you as soon as possible. You may want to just plead guilty and have the whole thing finished.

Before you do anything, you should seek the advice and counsel of an experienced criminal defense attorney. A long prison sentence is not necessarily the answer for anyone. Contact us immediately to schedule an appointment to meet with one of our defense lawyers.
